cindy-- glad to hear you're improving so quickly! i'm sure to you it seems very slow, but in the scheme of things it's not. little steps, big results. just like losing weight. i have to say, i consider having body parts removed to lose weight is cheating, jmho. lololol jk! i'm sure you'd rather have a month of only slimfast instead of surgery! if you're going to start sewing you might want to think small and easy to maneuver like dq's or mug rugs. this may be the year that's what your family gets for christmas! keep up the good work! we love having you check in!
